Title: Close in Awning area
Post by: Dub on September 08, 2011, 04:24:49 pm
Wasn't sure where to post this so... sorry if the wrong spot. Have any of you screened in the area under the main awning? I can vision screen with zippers... a door. Roll out the carpet for the floor, end tables. nice love seat, larger chair for me. I know this has been done. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of such? Probably a dozen or more of you already have such....please  tell me about it if so....

Sounds wonderful ... but what happens when the wind picks up real fast?

These products do exist.  I have seen quite a few of them.  Owners seem to make them fit their particular space needs. Wind is always an issue, but screens do offer a bit less resistance than a solid surface.

Sorry I can't give you a lead, but I've seen them in lots of campgrounds.

You may start the search at this link:  Patty O'Room - Patio Rooms - Camping World (http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/patty-oroom/22860d) and go from there.  As we both have stationary awnings we do not need to worry about every little wind which may activate the auto-retract feature on most newer coaches.  Likewise, I would not install the side curtains if bad weather is expected.  Good luck.

Here is an idea for a screen but it is not all the way around
